Kingfish best as Sashimi - a day or two after - best cleaned up though on the day.
Steaming a fillet in a aluminium parcel with lemon/juice and herbs - just seal the parcel with tape - so the moisture stays inside. 5 - 10 mins hot - but not on a direct flame - so high plate bbq or middle of oven.
Really simple way - is get a bag of flower - put it into a plastic bag with salt pepper, bit of cajun or dried herbs - dropp the fillets in powder coat the lot - shallow fry quicky in the wok on the BBQ if you like until golden on outside - again 5 mins. Secret is dont over cook
Fillet but leave the skin on (scaled), cut across the fillet into serving size pieces. Get a frypan good & hot, add about 2mm of oil and get to nearly smoking, liberally salt & pepper the skin (immediately before cooking) & give it 3 mins skin side down, turn the heat to medium & salt the flesh side in the pan then give it 2 mins skin side up. Slash the skin diagonally before cooking if you're feeling creative. Mmm, crispy skin kingfish.
Serve with an acidic green salad & mash or rice.
